Saturday, June 6 looks like a full plate for soccer fans—13 friendly matches spread across the United States and beyond, all involving teams qualified for the 2026 FIFA World Cup in North America.

Germany at Soldier Field sounds awesome but is it free or what?
So June 6 has like 13 games?? Nobody can keep up. I saw England in Tampa and thought it was the World Cup already lol.
If USMNT is playing Germany just “tune-up” then why are people acting like it’s the biggest match of all time. Also Paraguay on June 12 sounds scary but I feel like Paraguay is in CONCACAF for some reason? Maybe I’m mixing it up.
I swear friendlies are pointless like they don’t matter, but then I look at the schedule and it’s all these countries qualified for 2026 like it’s bragging rights. Germany already played some club teams this year right? And Qatar vs El Salvador in LA is random, who even asked for that.
